North Las Vegas encrypted?

[robertsdoug]

I am hearing mixed information on whether North Las Vegas Police are encrypted. I know Las Vegas marshals, Henderson, CCSD police, Paiute tribe… are the only unencrypted departments remaining. Can anyone with a scanner verify if North Las Vegas is encrypted or not? If it is not encrypted, I’m open to deploying a scanner and putting it on Broadcastify.

Mode "DE" = full encryption

I think he was referring to someone who had been listening to NLVPD and if there really Fulltime Encrypted or not. Anyone can look into the database. The database can be wrong you know. So does someone have on the ground information thanks

Anyone can look into the database. The database can be wrong you know.

I'm well aware. Not everyone knows what the different modes mean, however. Highly doubtful the database is wrong, submission was made in 2021 & with a major metropolitan area like Vegas it's almost certain someone else would have noticed and make an update submission if they were indeed "in the clear". It's extremely rare an agency reverses encryption anyway. No one local is weighing in on this thread so far, so I still think it's safe to go with what the DB says...

Everyday operations are encrypted

however

North Dispatch is occasionally in the clear for special bulletins. Ive witnessed this twice in the last year.

Thanks for this. It’s interesting that they would broadcast bulletins unencrypted. I didn’t know that Motorola systems had the ability to dynamically turn on and off encryption. I thought that it was on the radio and on the talk group programmed statically.
